No clue about those two, but I am really enjoying the steel Kona Rove St.
I have had real good experiences with both the Byway and the Horizon... although to be hones, I really like the GravelKing SK too. None of them feel as fast as a skinny tire... but they all feel more comfortable and I…
re: the slinging stones, yup my 38 Gravel KingSKs do that like crazy. I like the tires a lot though. I wrapped my down tube and bottom bracket area with the clear helicopter blade tape stuff. Weighs nothing and has held…
No clue about the 43s, but my 38s on Hed Belgium + measure over 41. I am not sure, but I think my rims are around 21 internal
Cpark, Why are you parting with the Ridley and what are you riding in its place? I have always thought yours was a great looking example.

I am running gravelking sk in 38 on Hed Belgium Plus, tubeless, ~40 psi. Measure a hair over 40. Clearance is tight in rear, especially with the front derailleur. Raced last weekend and had no issues. I also run G-One…
I am new to the clutch derailleur thing, so I apologize in advance for remedial questions, but I am interested in learning. So, I don't really understand. In a race like Paris-Roubaix, is the clutch engaged for the…
Can anyone comment about riding on the hoods with the On-One Midge or Cowchippers? I am intrigued, but with the Ultegra levers, I am just not sure how comfortable riding on the hoods will be. I am sold on the benefit of…
Is there a difference in the number of rows of knobs on the tread? I am running the newer 38s, which measure accurately at 40.5 (Tubeless on Hed Belgium +) and are marked TLC. These have 3 rows of knobs across the…
In my opinion, these are great tires. Very supple... but as a result, not the best for tubeless application. Tubeless is a hot market right now. If Challenge thought they could get more of that business, they would, but…
I just want to point out that there is nothing special about the Ridley fenders or the fender mounts. I got the plastic rear bridge from Ridley, but then went with standard sks fenders over the proprietary ones. No…
Anyone doing the Oregon Coast Epic Gravel race this coming weekend? http://oregontriplecrown.com/index.php/learn-more-wgf-2 Course map https://ridewithgps.com/routes/7359645 I am planning on it, but I have been sick all…
I just got done uploading the course for next weekend's gravel grinder in my 520. Works well for this, but as others have said, battery can be issue. I turn off tethering with my phone, decrease brightness and have the…
Can you tell me this: if I try that device and the tubeless conversion fails, what's the scenario? Mess? Wasted goo? Yucked up wheels? I mean, what am I looking at if the compressor doesn't do the trick? No real problem…
I have the Ridley X- Trail as well and I am running the G-One in 35, tubeless and on a Hed Belgium + rim. Measures out at 37.8 (ish, depending on psi). I am happy. I will likely switch to the GravelKing SK when these…
My Ridley X-Trail
I am not sure what you are wanting that is different than the gravel wheelset you have and like. Aero? Lighter? blingy looks? That said, I love having 2 wheelsets. I use a Hed Belgium + with White Industries Hub for…
Just curious if anyone has tried one of these:…
I am liking the GravelKing SK and also the Schwalbe G-one. The G-one in 35 also measures out about 38 on my Hed Belgium +
